The aim of this program is to introduce students to modern additive manufacturing and joining technologies used in advanced engineering and industrial production. During the course, participants study the fundamental principles of additive manufacturing, materials processing, and various methods of joining technologies. The program combines theoretical lectures with practical training, allowing students to gain a comprehensive understanding of how these technologies are applied in modern industry.
The course also helps participants develop practical skills in working with advanced manufacturing equipment and analyzing technological processes. Through hands-on activities and academic instruction, students gain insight into current trends in manufacturing engineering and materials technologies. By the end of the program, participants acquire essential knowledge of additive manufacturing and joining technologies and receive a certificate confirming their participation in the course.

✦ Block 2: advanced
• Physics of the energy-matter interaction;
• Advanced metrology in additive manufacturing;
• Friction based processes and impact on microstructures and properties;
• Microstructure and advanced physical properties;
• Focus on steels and aluminium, nickel and titanium alloys,
Within the school, students will have the opportunity to develop their own project under the guidance of specialists in telecommunications, biophotonics and fiber optics. The development of the project will consist of both the theoretical part (the schematic part and the corresponding calculations), and the practical part where students can assemble and test their own device.
